There’s plenty of fun things happening in Greenwich this month – or as we should now call it, ‘GreenWitch’.

Explore Greenwich’s new Wicked trail

To mark the launch of the highly anticipated Wicked film, Greenwich has been renamed to ‘GreenWitch’ for the next two weeks in celebration of the film that is being released on November 22.

The trail begins at the Tourist Information Centre and on to the entrance to Greenwich Foot Tunnel, where you’ll see the newly erected ‘GreenWitch' plaque before continuing through GreenWitch from High Road and GreenWitch Picture House and finally to GreenWitch Market.

Take a walk through Greenwich Park to see autumn colour

Moving away from the colour green, Greenwich Park makes for the perfect autumn walk at this time of year to see the last of the autumn colour.
